Decisions for Year 3 were more challenging, I think this is so because I now have a total understanding of the simulation. I found that it is difficult to make all the ideal choices because my budget may not allow it.

The organizational stakeholders decision I selected initiate a full audit of the supply chain of all K-Tai, Inc.’s consumer electronic products. I feel that the issue presented was worthy of investigation and that the best place to begin would be an audit to confirm if the company was currently using any of the conflict materials.

I selected to do a comprehensive domestic risk assessment this year. I would like to plan to do a domestic and international assessment every other year.

    Amber, I think there is a misunderstanding/confusion on the agreed process, which it has not been implemented yet.

In order to do this, I would use our sourcing calendar and the packaging engineering VO list. From a process perspective, the VO list is updated on a monthly basis by the packaging engineering group and the sourcing calendar by my team. To Bethany’s point, I have instructed my team to help Vito keep this list as updated as possible.…

It follows that the answer to any calculation can be no more nor any less precise than the least precise piece of data involved in the calculation. In this course, we will follow a set of rules meant to a) provide consistency to our significant figures and rounding and b) provide answers that agree, in accuracy and precision, with our measured data.

To some people recycling is just a lost cause, but to many others’ it has wedged its way into becoming a part of his or her lifestyle.…
